So this is my very first attempt in any kind of android development. I have here my phone's official kernel source. I was wondering if I can build this to boot or if it's ready for building.

Also this phone is bootloader locked and there's no official or unofficial way to unlock it. So what can I do with the source or the boot image ?

    source code is released to comply with GPL license only, it's useless on locked devices – alecxs Jun 26 '21 at 09:03
  • I figure out this is the whole phone open source. I'm sure I can break into it and root/unlock it somehow – Abdelrahman Esam Jun 27 '21 at 01:28
  • what if I can build it as singed image so I can flash it using the locked bootloader or even use EDL mode – Abdelrahman Esam Jun 27 '21 at 07:28
  • doubt you can sign you don't have OEM keys. even EDL mode is impossible without OEM signed firehose programmer – alecxs Jun 27 '21 at 14:27
  • I found stock rom/firmware ​for the phone and I think we can do a lot with a locked bootloader – Abdelrahman Esam Jun 27 '21 at 17:52
  • start with edl.py good luck https://android.stackexchange.com/q/224131 https://android.stackexchange.com/q/226838 – alecxs Jun 28 '21 at 06:46
  • I found a less risky way using adb sideload but now I need a way to change active slot from B to A. Since the stock recovery is nonexistent, I couldn't get adb sideload funtion but now I found a specific boot entry just for adb sideload which is new and interesting. They have everything separated and insanely locked in some way.
